A series of 12 action-oriented 1-hour webinars aimed at what you
- the practicing architect, interior designer, landscape architect -
can do to foster prosperity while protecting the planet.
What will we leave behind? How can we fix the future? Will we leave the world a better place than we found it?
As architects, interior designers, landscape architects, you hold incredible power. The power to shape the built environment in which we live, love, work, play, and die.
You are - by design - problem solvers and we feel lucky to have the privilege to curate topics that help you solve today’s biggest challenges. That’s our small contribution and we take it very seriously. Yours is much greater. This is why, in 2020, we are offering a series of 12 action-oriented 1-hour webinars aimed at what design professionals can do to foster prosperity while protecting the planet. We will be tackling hunger, energy, peace, poverty, etc. No, we won’t solve it. We know that.
What we hope to achieve with this series is to highlight how the built environment interacts with these issues and encourage you - the practitioners - to be the catalysts of change. To become both change-makers and change-ambassadors.
Our intent is about asking better questions and having better conversations with all stakeholders in every community. It does feel overwhelming and - it is - but we owe it to future generations to at least try. We hope you will consider participating in this food-for-thought-and-action series.
If nothing else, you will earn a total of 12 HSW CE Credits; hopefully, you will be inspired to contribute your ideas, help shape our thinking around critical issues, and take small yet impactful steps in your practice.
See you online. In the meantime, thank you for your role in designing a world in which all of us can thrive now and in the future.

2020 was a year marked by airborne pathogens, wildfires, and a life-threatening pandemic. Our schools and places of worship closed, while restaurants, bars and gyms were off-limits. We were all sent home or driven outside. Our buildings were no longer healthy places. How can our buildings evolve to protect us from dangers both inside and out?Considering components for healthy building organizations such as WELL building standards and governmental health agencies, this presentation will evaluate air and water quality. It will further address light, ergonomics, movement, and surface materials impacting the user’s health. Finally, it will consider the visceral and cognitive human response to buildings, which influences wellness.
The health crisis of 2020 has allowed us to rethink our built environment and the need to provide healthy buildings and a healthy world to inhabit. We can come away from this health crisis with design insight to improve our quality of life.

How long do you (pre-covid) spend driving to work, school, grocery stores, shops, restaurants, doctors, hair salons, etc.? The impact of all of those cars, roads, parking lots and more is devastating to a sustainable planet, sustainable cities and to the health, safety and welfare of populations. Add in the impact of a pandemic and the growing awareness of ongoing social inequity and the idea of living in a community where the majority of your needs can be met withing a 15 minute walk or bicycle ride is generating a great deal of awareness right now. Join us as we explore what are the benefits and challenges to creating a Sustainable City that can lead to healthier, safer and more mindful communities.

We live in a world of labels—descriptors responsible for a polarized human experience and hindered creativity. These labels prevent design professionals from providing the best possible people-centered solutions. They have made design seem out of reach for some people when well-designed spaces should be a standard for all, not a luxury for a few.
We will help you recognize the impact of labels, demographics and data on the design process. We will show how adjusting language, spearheading an inclusive design process and creating empathetic concepts will enhance community well-being and inspire the next generation of design professionals.

Many people who encounter poverty, as well as related problems such as homelessness, crime, discrimination, mental illness, violence, and other societal issues experience persistent, and sometimes debilitating ‘toxic’ trauma. This presentation suggests that people can be assisted by designing empathetically for trauma, prioritizing strategies that support well-being and help preserve dignity. Through this course’s information and case studies, you will learn about the issues surrounding trauma and the guidelines of trauma-informed care, and the emerging principles of trauma-informed design that can help you create effective built environments that assist people in need.

During this time of global focus on health, it is vital we expand our knowledge about the impact the environment has on our health. We will first look at health- and wellness-focused building standards, namely Fitwel and WELL. Then, you will learn how to find community-specific public health data and how to analyze it to figure out which health issues most directly impact your clients and their communities. From there, using performance and prescriptive design strategies, you will be able to create a cost-conscious health-focused strategy for planned and future construction projects.

Research shows that sustainable school design is not only good for the environment, sustainable school design can have a direct impact on student achievement and teacher performance. This course will explore sustainable design strategies that best support learning and examine ways to leverage building codes and sustainable design rating systems to prioritize and optimize the design measures that most significantly impact student achievement and increase teacher retention. We will also discuss strategies for energizing and mobilizing the design team and stakeholders to build consensus and accountability for implementing sustainable design and apply lessons learned from case studies of High Performance School projects.

Water is one of the most critical components on planet earth for life to exist. Humans can only survive three days without water! All the water the planet will ever have is already here. Yet we have been abusing this precious and finite resource through waste, contamination and pollution.
As global populations continue to rise exponentially, the demand for water, sanitation and water management is also increasing exponentially; especially in developing countries.
In order to create sustainable societies, water is most likely one of, if not the MOST, critical factors. Join us to learn how new water strategies can change the built world.
